Kitap Tanıtımı |
This publication is the first result of investigations that began as conversations and contemplations with my long-term advisor and mentor Machteld J. Mellink during a visit toTarsus in May 1998. The occasion for the visit was the 20th Annual Excavation Results Symposium hosted by the Ministry of Culture, General Directorate of Monuments and Museums. The idea of preparing for a Boğaziçi University Expedition to Cilicia took shape as one of many projects contrived at our annual sojourn in ancient Myndos (Gümüşlük) with Daryo Mizrahi and Selçuk Esenbel. The encouragement and sustained support of Selçuk Esenbel, Professor of History and at the time Chair of the History Deparment at B. U. to initiate such a project laid the ground for all future work. |
